days, twenty-six Saturdays, four national
feast days, forty-fiv days of vacation
and fifty Catholic holidays, making a
total Of 1T days, and having only 1Ss

that the children Of this city do not at

THE CASE OF FATHER KELLER.

Father Keller's case. The arrest OF
the beloved and conscientious priest
may even prove the beginning of
the end OF the long and bitter and
bloody Irish agitation. 1t will be we'll
to understand just what Father KEEL
ler's case is and to bear it in mind,
so that what follows may he under.

Father Keller was summoned be-
fore the Bankruptcy Court to testify
against certain of his parishioners
in a case growing ont of the famous
"plan of campaign" being the pay.
ment of rent to friendly trustees in
stead of to the landlords. The
priest respectfully feeliHed-to give
evidence at the cost of betraying
secrets which his people had conf
ded to him under the sacred seal of
the confessional.
A warrant was issued for the
priests arrest, but just at that point
the Bishop of Cloyne came out in a
letter approving Father Keller's
course, and the situation seemed so
unfavorable for executing the war.
rant that the proceeding was drop
ped. Sir Michael Hicks Beach was
just laying down the Secretaryship
for Ireland, and Mr.. Balsour was
just entering on the career which
was SO soon to make him Infamous.
Installed in office, Balfour lost no
time in showing his bloody hand. =
The police were given to understand
that free use of their shooting
irons would be duly appreciated by
the Government. Balfour thought
the case of Keller good one to
begin with, and he had another
warrant issued for the priests arrest.
With the shooting orders in their
minds the police went to execute
the second warrant.
! just as the concocters of the
scheme expected, the arrival Of the
officers to arrest a beloved priest
brought out the people. There is,
however, nothing whatever to show
that the police would have had any
difficulty in serving the warrant.
But the fact sand is one that is
likely to play an important part in
the history now rapidly making
that twenty five policemen armed
with rifles and bayonets charged
thirty rnarmed peasants. OF course
the little crowd broke. This was
not enough. A young man named
Hanlon, a widows son, while fleeing
from the boyonets was stabbed and
killed by policeman-by all &C.
counts wanton butchery.
To vlndicate the law it had been
thought necessary to commit murder.
At the Coroner's inquest the police
refused to testify, and when the
Coroner issued his warrant for the
arrest of witnesses the Inspector not
only refused to execute it but laugh.

land there is one law for the people
and another for the Government.
This in brief is the case of Father
Keller who lies in Kilmainham iall
because the Tory Government was
looking Tor an opportunity to ter.
rorizethe Irish people. There are not
adjectives enough in the English
language to do Justice to the subject.
Because of this exploit so early IN
his official career, the new Chief
Secretary for Ireland has earned the
quickly bestowed title OF "Bloody

greatest excitement in this city. a feeling
OF intense qualification prevails among the
katlonalists. Harrington expressed him
self that he did not believe Blunt would be
detained or prosecuted. But" he added,
" 1t will do good, and should not wonder
that we hear more of it."
William O'Brien and Dillon could not
conceal their qualification at the turn events
had taken. Sir Wilfred Blunt, to Magis-
trate Byrn, guaranteed moderate language
on the part of the speakers. He warned
the magistrate that he would hold him re-
sponsible If he attacked an unarmed and
orderly meeting.
over thirty persons were more or less
seriously injured at Woodford, and the
feeling against the police is bitter.

SLAYER of doc" Harlan

No Further Developments as to the
Slayer of doc" Harlan
{CopyUigt, 1887, By the California Asgoc,d.cd Press
Los ANGELES, October 24th-The Har-
Ian murder case is still the chief tonic of
conversation. There is sufficient evidence
to hold the defendant to answer. Mrs.
Harlan is residing with friends on Hill
street She has been Frustrated BY the
shock of her husbands death. The couple
had always lived harmoniouslv together.
She does not believe that her husband ever
tried to ruin the girl, and thinks the motive
of the murder was robbery. Harlan had
told her that Hattie Woolsteen and himself
had business relations, and she Mrs. Har-
lam bad attached her name to deeds which
transferred certain lots to Hattie.
Mrs. Harlan will be called as a witness
for the State during Hattie Woolsteen' s
trial for murder Chief Darcy and District
Attorney Dupy were in consultation this
morning The District Attorney is re-.
ceiving the Chief g information so as to
prepare himself for the prosecution of the
case.
In an interview to-day with Sergeant
Jetferies, 1t was learned that the police
claim to have undoubted evidence that
Hattie Woolsteen. besides numbering the
unfortunate Doc Harlan, is the poisoner of
the old lady Mrs. Darbey, of Compton. who
was supposed at the time to have died sud
denly from natural causes
Mr.. Jetferies denied that he or the Chief
had at any time attempted to search the
persons of the Woolsteen sisters in a rude
or unbecoming manner, and he also asserts
that the story told by Colonel G. Wiley
Wells has been manufactured by the de-
tense FOR the purpose of creating public
sympathy for the defendant.
THE LATEST STORY
LATER-It is now stated that Hattie
Woolsteen was assisted in the murder of
Harlan Dy the gambler, Bob Allen, her old
lover. Allen was swindled by Harlan ont
OF his share of some gambling transactions,
ana was thirsting for revenge. Allen left
the city for San Diego last Friday.

been officially made, but it is said that in
